the obama campaign's been focused on high voter outreach. the romney camp says they're responding in kind. the fact romney and republicans have done better with older voters might give them an edge on early voting. but when they tell reporters they're not targeting a specific demographic, that does give a warning sign. it's not just election day. it's election weeks and so right now the voting day and every lost vote for romney is not good. >> how important is is this early voting for you when you make that decision on where to spend money? >> early voting is pretty important and when you consider the fact that this places like north carolina, people are voting and can vote every day and other places like nevada, speak are starting to go to the polls. the ground game really matters and the president's put a lot into the infrastructure to make sure the campaign is set up in field offices across the country. but the other thing that matters is what's happened in the news from day-to-day and when you look at the miserable couple of weeks mitt r
